3M to acquire Aearo Technologies Inc.
This global leader in personal protection equipment will bolster 3M’s personal protection franchise.
3M and Aearo Technologies Inc.
announced Nov. 15 that they have
entered into a definitive agreement for
3M’s acquisition of Aearo for a total
purchase price of $1.2 billion, to be
financed through a combination of cash
and other borrowings.
Aearo is a global leader in the
personal protection industry, and manufactures and markets personal protection and energy absorbing products.
Aearo is owned by funds advised by
Permira, a leading global private equity
firm, and company management.
This acquisition will significantly
expand 3M’s occupational health and
environmental safety platform by
adding hearing protection as well as
eyewear and fall-protection product
lines to 3M’s existing full line of respiratory products. It provides a broad platform for accelerated growth. This acquisition enables 3M to provide industrial,
military and construction customers
— as well as consumers — with a more
complete personal protection solution.
“Aearo complements and significantly broadens our core safety and
personal protection business, a space
which is growing fast and is of strategic importance to the company,” said
George Buckley, chairman, president
and CEO. “The combination of 3M’s
technology, our global reach and well-
known safety brand with Aearo’s strong
product portfolio and brands positions
3M as the global leader in personal
protective equipment products. Our
powerful international distribution
network will enable us to enhance and
leverage this asset going forward.”
Aearo has achieved the leading
global market positions in hearing and
eye protection through the strength
of its brand names such as E-A-R,
Peltor, AOSafety and SafeWaze, and its
reputation for developing high-quality,
innovative products and strong market
competitiveness.
The company has demonstrated a
strong track record of consistent marketbeating growth and profitability, with
sales increasing at a compound annual
growth rate of more than 12 percent over
the past five years to $508 million.
The complete Aearo product line
includes passive hearing, communication headsets, eye protection, head and
face protection and fall protection. The
company also markets systems solutions and proprietary energy absorbing
materials, which are incorporated into
other manufacturers’ products to control
noise, vibration, shock and temperature.
3M is a recognized leader in personal
protective equipment, providing
customers with innovative technologies
and solutions that help increase personal

Security Systems Division sets the global standard
The Security Systems Division’s core competencies provide security and protection solutions that are unmatched.
Security and protection are precious
commodities in today’s world. Are you
who you say you are? Is the document
you hold in your hand authentic? Is the
inkjet cartridge you bought for your
printer the real deal or counterfeit?
The Security Systems Division now
has a full set of solutions to help individuals, businesses and governments
find the answers.
“Over the past few years, we’ve built
a business around three key competencies,” said Mike Delkoski, vice president, Security Systems Division. “These
are: security materials, the issuance
of identification documents, and the
authentication of documents, people
and goods.”
The division draws from the
company’s core technologies and made
several strategic acquisitions to create
a full portfolio for security industry
customers.
“These competencies are becoming
increasingly interdependent and there’s
no one else in the world that can
connect them together like we can,”
Delkoski added. “We have the expertise and the global reach to be one
of the leading suppliers of issuance
and authentication solutions in every
country around the world. And we are
expecting double-digit growth rates as
our reward.”
Materials matter
The first of the division’s three
core competencies lies in the kinds of
security materials it can produce. 3M™
Confirm™ Laminate with Floating
Image technology, for example, makes
it virtually impossible to duplicate or
tamper with passports, driver’s licenses
and other identification cards. This
retroreflective technology makes a
kangaroo hop on Australian passports,
a loon swim on a Minnesota driver’s
license and distinctive wavy lines
float across the surface of a New York
driver’s license.
A customer’s goods can be protected
with the division’s security labels.
Their overt and covert security features
make it difficult to counterfeit these
labels. And, since billions of dollars
in fraudulent goods — brand-name
knockoffs — are sold worldwide,
reducing this kind of fraud is a top
priority for businesses.
IDs are us
Issuance is Security Systems’
second competency and there are
several steps in the process. Think
about the last time you applied for a
passport or driver’s license and you’ll
get the picture. First, you complete an
application. Then the information is
checked to make sure you are entitled
to the document. Once approved, the
document is personalized and printed.
And, finally, the document is delivered
to you.
In 2002, 3M acquired AiT, a Canadian company based in Ottawa, Ontario,
to gain enrollment expertise.
“AiT software transfers the data
from your application and helps move it
through the entitlement step,” Delkoski
explained. “It allows a customer to set
up a customized workflow that makes
it easier for that customer to issue
documents.”
Then, in August 2006, 3M acquired
Security Printing Systems Ltd., a
leading producer of passports and
secure cards in the United Kingdom.
This company provides all 10-year
permanent passports for U.K. citizens
around the world. The U.K. passport is
one of the most complex and technical
passports made, because of its use of
radio frequency identification (RFID)
technology, an embedded computer
chip that contains all the information
in your passport, and will soon contain
your fingerprint. As of mid-2007, RFID
technology has been used in all U.S.
passports and those of several other
countries, as well.
“In the past, the border-control agent
looked at you, then looked at the picture
on your passport to see if the image was
a match. The ability to instantly match
the fingerprint provides a much higher
level of security.”
As security systems become more
complex, there is a greater need for
3M’s expertise.
“Biometrics and other technologies
are making governments around the
world reassess the way they produce
their documents,” said Andy Dubner,
strategic planning manager, Security
Systems. “They want a supplier with
more sophisticated, interrelated capabilities and long-term stability. That’s us.”
Authentication ties it all together
Another recent acquisition has
helped round out the division’s portfolio. Last July, 3M acquired U.K.based Rochford Thompson Equipment
Ltd., a manufacturer of passport readers
used by airlines and by immigration
authorities.
“We had some equipment, but
Rochford Thompson gave us a much
more robust line of desktop, portable,
mobile and wireless readers,” Delkoski
explained.
Now, Security Systems has the materials and the software and hardware to
help governments and businesses issue
and authenticate their documents.
The growth potential is immense.
“Right now, the primary focus is on
issuing passports and border control,”
Dubner noted. “But we’re seeing a
migration [of ID issuance and authentication] into related markets, like law
enforcement, health care, financial
institutions and hospitality.”
Security and authentication will
become an increasingly routine part of
many industries. Airlines already use
kiosk readers to check in passengers.
Hotels, casinos and cruise lines aren’t
far behind. In time, ‘smarter’ ID cards,
with higher levels of security built in,
could be used by health care providers
and payers, law enforcement or your
local bank.
Security Systems has the pieces
in place not just to keep pace with
the growing demand for security and
protection, but to lead the way around
the world.
3M conductor is installed in China
A utility in the People’s Republic of China installed 3M™ Aluminum Conductor Composite Reinforced to boost capacity on a key line serving Shanghai.
Shanghai Electric Power Company
Ltd. has become the first utility outside
the United States to install the breakthrough 3M™ Aluminum Conductor
Composite Reinforced (ACCR) lightweight, high-capacity transmission
conductor.
3M’s ACCR can carry more than
twice the current of conventional steelcore conductors of the same diameter, and do it on the existing towers,
without requiring new construction or
rebuilding.
Shanghai Electric, a publicly owned
utility whose major shareholders are
China Power Investment Corp. and
East China Power Development Co.,
serves the Shanghai metropolitan area
with more than 2,800 megawatts of
generating capacity. It deployed 3M’s
ACCR to increase capacity on a key
10-mile line to meet growing peak
demand. Shanghai is the largest city in
the People’s Republic of China, and the
eighth-largest metropolis in the world.
3M’s ACCR — a product of the Electrical Markets Division — currently is
in service in the United States for Xcel
Energy in Minnesota, Arizona Public
Service in Phoenix and Western Area
Power Administration’s Topac-Davis
line along the Colorado River, as well as
for several other domestic utilities.
3M’s ACCR was developed with
the support of the U.S. Department of
Energy, which tested the conductor
at its Oak Ridge National Laboratory
(ORNL) in Tennessee, and with early
contributions by the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency.
The ORNL tests demonstrated that
the conductor retains its integrity after
exposure to temperatures even higher
than the rated continuous operating
temperature of 210 degrees Celsius
and 240 degrees Celsius for emergency
operation, which provides a significant safety factor. It has the durability
and longevity of traditional steel core
conductors, even when operated continuously at high temperatures.
Also, since 3M’s ACCR is based on
aluminum, it is not adversely affected
by environmental conditions, such as
moisture or UV exposure, and has the
corrosion resistance typically associated
with aluminum-based conductors.
The ACCR’s strength and durability result from its core, composed
of aluminum oxide (alumina) fibers
embedded in high-purity aluminum,
utilizing a highly specialized and
patented process. The constituent
materials are chemically compatible
with each other and can withstand high
temperatures without adverse chemical
reactions or any appreciable loss in
strength.
3M has been a full-solutions provider
to the utilities industry for decades.
The company’s offerings to the utilities
market range from locating and marking
systems to find underground cables, to
3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Material
for personal safety, to splicing kits and
insulating tapes.
3M holds 18 patents on the new
ACCR technology. 3M’s ACCR has
been recognized by R&D Magazine
with an R&D 100 Award as one of
the most technologically significant
products introduced into the marketplace, and by the Minnesota High Tech
Association with a Tekne Award for
innovative development. In addition,
3M’s ACCR was one of the technologies
that President George W. Bush viewed
during a visit to 3M last year.

ACCR, visit the Web site.

Floor care market flourishes in Asia
Home Care’s lively, amusing — and polished — marketing efforts spur sales growth in Asia.
Floor care products from the Home Care Division
are growing at a quick pace in the Asia Pacific region.
The region’s growing economies, coupled with Home
Care’s strong product offerings and well-executed
marketing plans, have yielded across-the-board sales
growth for the division. Leading the way have been
Taiwan and Korea, where sales in floor care products
especially shine.
“Year-to-date we’re getting double-digit growth
on kitchen cleaning products — scouring pads and
scrub sponges — throughout the region,” said Tom
Paul, international business development manager,
Asia Pacific region, Home Care. But, he added, “We’re
getting significantly more growth in the adjacent floor
care category. Home floor care products have been
a good growth driver globally, but they have been
particularly successful in Asia.”
Know who you are selling to
What has made the move into floor care products especially successful in the more mature Asian
markets such as Taiwan and Korea is the division’s
thorough commitment to understanding the consumer.
“Understanding the consumer is the base of all of
our product development and marketing strategy,” said
Vickie Wang, marketing operations manager, Home
Care, 3M Taiwan. “We did telephone interviews to
understand the customers’ usage behavior and we held
focus groups to gather consumers’ ‘voice of expectation’ regarding floor care products.”
Unique-to-the-market products
Both Korea and Taiwan have driven sales with
unique products for their markets, along with a
customized array of product offerings. In Taiwan,
Home Care is marketing 10 different Scotch-Brite™
Mop products — strip mops, sponge mops, dust mops
and more. The division has also developed a mop
unique to the Taiwanese market, the 3M™ MicroFiber Flat Mop, which has shown strong sales since its
launch in 2004.
When the flat mop was introduced in Taiwan, it was
an entirely new product category. A flat mop had never
been available there before, and people didn’t know
how to use it, according to Wang. Yet now, thanks to
a strong marketing campaign and a refinement of the
product (to meet both the wet and dry mop needs of
the customer), the flat mop leads total Scotch-Brite™
floor care sales in Taiwan.
3M Korea, too, has developed its own successful
innovation — the 3M™ Switchable Head Mop.
Extremely versatile, this unique-to-the-market product
consists of a handle and three interchangeable heads
—including a triangle head for round edge and corner
cleaning. Floor care sales have been strengthened
since its introduction.
Polished communications
In both countries sales have been bolstered by
carefully constructed and well-executed communication programs. A humorous television ad in Taiwan,
featuring a young woman mopping up a spill as she
goes through airport security, led to a doubling in sales
of that mop. In Korea, an integrated communications
effort with print, broadcast, Internet and bus ads, was
especially effective. Publicity was also garnered by a
team of Scotch-Brite™ “in-line cleaning commandos”
who swooped in on children’s playgrounds and
proceeded to brighten up the slides and equipment
with Scotch-Brite™ products.
In Korea, a team of Scotch-Brite™ “in-line cleaning commandos”
attracted considerable publicity for Home Care Division products
as they rolled in on surprise visits to playgrounds and shined up
the equipment.
Merchandising that retailers love
Strong in-store merchandising and creative product
displays at grocery stores and mass merchandisers,
such as E-Mart and Lotte Mart, have also brought
results.
“Part of the success of Taiwan and Korea is their
effectiveness in building account relationships,” said
Paul. Accounts are willing to commit a large amount
of shelf space because they know they will profit from
doing so. In Korea, especially, 3M displays can be
massive — as much as 20 feet long — showcasing
Home Care products, and with refills and cleaning
products meticulously matched.
It comes as no surprise that 3M Taiwan last year
won a Global Sales and Marketing Professionalism
Program award. And 3M Korea’s efforts, too, are
gaining notice.
“In Taiwan and Korea, the Home Care teams understand their consumer,” said Paul. “They’ve developed
an array of floor care products to meet consumer
needs, and they’ve executed comprehensive integrated
communication programs. The result is double-digit
growth!”

When Sherwin-Williams opened its 200th automotive store, 3M’s Automotive Aftermarket Division was there.
It was a perfect time for a celebration.
Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes was

practices, emphasizing their importance. A Champ car
simulator put customers right in the driver’s seat, and
NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s famed No. 8 car
was also on display.

serve.”

Abrasive Systems connects with its
customers through a variety of industrial
manufacturing processes to help them
modify or repair a surface or achieve
a specific finish. That surface might be
cosmetic or functional. It may be old and
corroded, or shiny new metal, whitewood,
topcoats, paint or composites. But whatever it is, it requires a unique and often
challenging solution.
Automotive manufacturers, for
example, need a quality paint finish on
each new car. But even in production, the
finish can be damaged. Scrapping the job
is unacceptable — but so is a noticeable
repair or investing long hours in a repair.
Abrasive Systems developed a system
of fine-grade abrasives, accessories,
compounds and tools to help remove
these slight imperfections on the painted
surface of the vehicle and then buff it to
a high-luster finish. And as paint finishes
change, so must the system. But that’s all
part of what it takes to be the world’s
No.1 abrasive solution provider.
The trend for more energy-efficient
engines is another growth driver. As
engine parts require less friction for great
efficiency, the need increases for abrasives than can leave a finer finish.
As energy demands increase, so does
the need for diamond drill bits used in oil
exploration. And as the population ages,
the need grows for precision-finished
implants. The demand for cabinets
and furniture finished with abrasives
trends with the housing and remodeling
markets.
But the tides of Abrasive Systems do
not shift with any single industry, as they
are tied to a variety of different industry
trends — many of which bode well for
the division’s future.
Keeping pace with industrial change
presents the division with opportunities for new solutions development and
growth. For many years, for example,
industries such as aerospace or agriculture, and construction equipment manufacturers, used hydraulic components
made of chrome. But health concerns
tied to chrome, along with the ability to
create a harder finished surface, led many
companies to replace this heavy-metal
finish with flame-sprayed hard coatings.
“Customers want to produce a surface
that’s so hard they can’t scratch it,”
Holmes explained. “But the only way to
finish a surface is to scratch it. So as our
customers find ways to produce harder
and harder surfaces, our challenge is to
develop better abrasives to finish those
surfaces,” he continued.
This trend led 3M to make two acquisitions: the General Industrial Diamond
Co. and Diamond Productions Inc. These
companies add strong products and
technology in diamond and cBN bonded
superabrasives, which complements
3M’s “home grown” superabrasives line,
bringing new capabilities for serving
customers.
“Superabrasives are better at grinding
hard surfaces,” noted Holmes. “So it
was only natural that we would build our
expertise with these two fine companies.”
Customers first
General Industrial Diamond gave 3M
a strong presence in new segments —
including grinding carbide tools and oil
and gas drill bits. In addition, superabrasives play an important role in industries
— from cylindrical grinding to aerospace — where 3M already has a strong
presence.
“We’re not just adding products to
expand our product portfolio,” Holmes
explained. “We’re customer-focused. And
our key customers need these products.
Their processes demand them. And now
we can offer them more solutions.”
Most recently, Abrasive Systems
acquired California-based Standard Abrasives, a manufacturer of coated abrasive specialties and nonwoven abrasive
products for the metalworking industry,
and Unifam Sp. z o.o., a manufacturer of
cut-off wheels, depressed center grinding
wheels and flap discs. (See next page.)
Abrasive Systems also helps its
customers eliminate some steps in their
manufacturing processes.
“We’ve taken some of our customers’
processes from days to hours,” Holmes
added. “We’re willing to do that even if
it means that customer might buy fewer
abrasives from us in the short term.
“We have to help them be efficient,”
he explained. “You want everyone to be
as efficient as possible to compete in this
world. If you don’t, they won’t be there to
sell products to anyway.”
The payoff for this approach is
obvious. The customer is more competitive, more successful and will want to
work with 3M far into the future.
People make it happen
Behind these strategies is an organization that’s geared for growth. The
division has restarted its research and
development engine to develop new solutions for customers.
“We’re empowering people to go
after their ideas; we’re encouraging open
debate and funding the best opportunities,” Holmes said. “We have a talented
technical organization that cares about
the things that are really core to us.”
It’s a team effort. Holmes points
to manufacturing employees who
continually strive to improve quality for
customers and control costs. The division
has a dedicated sales force and marketing
employees who look at things from the
customer’s perspective.
“And then we have this wonderful
little gem of an organization called Tech
Service,” Holmes added. “They help tie
things together. They show our customers
how to do things. They learn what our
customers need and bring that knowledge
back to everyone in our division.”
There’s nothing more “core 3M” than
abrasives, Holmes concluded. It’s the
company’s original technology platform
and has spawned countless products and
numerous successful businesses within 3M.
And with its unblinking focus on
customers, Abrasive Systems sees a
future that is equally compelling.
“We’re working hard to understand
what our customers value and what’s
most important to them,” he said. “Our
base of technologies, our products and
our people make us very relevant to the
markets we serve.”

Two acquisitions add to abrasives business
Complementary acquisitions such as these support both 3M’s core business and growth strategy to expand in abrasive markets.
3M acquires Standard Abrasives
3M announced Nov. 1 its acquisition of Standard Abrasives,
a manufacturer of coated abrasive specialties and nonwoven
abrasive products for the metalworking industry.
The addition of Standard Abrasives further enhances 3M’s
ability to bring high-value solutions to customers in the metalworking industry around the world.
“With this acquisition we are joining two great abrasive
companies and brands, both of us successful, and both of
us with proud histories of innovation that are now coming
together to drive towards a very bright future,” said Chris
Holmes, vice president and general manager, Abrasive
Systems Division.
The Abrasive Systems Division is 3M’s “heritage business,” upon which the company was founded in 1902. 3M’s
brands are recognized around the world, making the company
a leading abrasives supplier to manufacturers of medical,
electronics, aerospace, automotive and thousands of other
products. 3M abrasive technologies and brands — including
Cubitron™, Scotch-Brite™ and Trizact™ — mean customers
can trust 3M to provide quality, innovative products and solutions for virtually every purpose, from grinding to polishing.
Since 1959, Standard Abrasives has delivered creative solutions to the metalworking market by designing and manufacturing a wide variety of coated abrasive specialties and
nonwoven abrasives. Standard Abrasives employs approximately 375 people and is headquartered in Simi Valley, Calif.
3M acquires Unifam Sp. z o.o.
3M announced Nov. 5 its acquisition of Unifam
Sp. z o.o., a manufacturer of cut-off wheels, depressed
center grinding wheels and flap discs.
Unifam supplies conventional bonded wheels and flap
discs used to cut and grind materials such as metallic
sheet, rod, pipe and welds, for markets that include
metalworking, shipbuilding, heavy equipment manufacturing and construction. Unifam currently produces
products for 3M that feature the 3M™ Cubitron™ Abrasive Grain, a ceramic aluminum oxide mineral designed
to deliver a higher cut rate and longer life in demanding
production environments.
“Abrasives made with Cubitron grain have exceptional durability and improved cutting efficiencies.
Adding Unifam allows us to expand and build on our
understanding of how we can apply Cubitron technology
in even more products beyond the current offering,”
said Chris Holmes, vice president and general manager,
Abrasive Systems Division. “In addition to strong
technical synergies, we see manufacturing opportunities
with Unifam.”
“Investing in a local company from the industrial
sector expands our product portfolio and will allow us
to better support our customers’ growth in Europe and
beyond,” added Jose Del Solar, managing director, 3M
Poland.
“The acquisition of Unifam by 3M is very important
because 3M brings its technology, expertise and global
reach to our already strong reputation and will continue
to build our business throughout the world,” said Jacek
Lasota, president, Unifam.
Unifam employs approximately 95 people at its
facility in Skomielna, Poland.

Tapping into orthodontists’ ideas
Special rapport with orthodontists gives sales reps — and 3M Unitek Corporation — a competitive advantage.
During a recent visit to the 3M
Innovation Center, several dozen
leading orthodontists found their hosts
as eager to hear what they had to say
as to show off the depth and breadth of
3M technology.
“I’ve been struck by how interested
3M Unitek Corporation is in getting
feedback from us,” said Dr. John
Shefferman, Washington, D.C., during
a break. “These folks really want to
know our thoughts on where orthodontics is heading.”
Shefferman and his fellow practitioners were invited to spend several
days at the 3M Innovation Center and
the Wonewok Conference Center to
Dr. John Shefferman
discuss some of the latest 3M Unitek
product offerings. Such gatherings
are held several times a year, along
with other events, to gather voiceof-customer input and expose newer
customers to those who have enjoyed a
longer-term relationship with 3M.
Doctors selling doctors
“It’s great when we get doctors
selling doctors on the merits of our
products,” said Nancy Dyslin, sales
director, United States and Canada,
3M Unitek. “And an additional advantage we have is that our sales representatives typically enjoy a special rapport
with their orthodontists.”
Ed Rickert, Midwest regional sales
manager, 3M Unitek, is of the same
Dr. Lisa Alvetro
mind. “Our sales reps have lots of
longevity and take on something of
a consultant’s role. In many cases,
they’re viewed as an extension of the
practice,” he said.
The comments of several of the
visiting orthodontists certainly
confirmed that statement.
Shefferman, for example, noted
that competing sales reps “are not
nearly as knowledgeable or attentive” as his 3M Unitek representative,
Brant Napier. “It makes all the difference in the world,” he said.
What sets 3M apart?
“3M products set it apart, as does
Dr. Donna Stenberg
its customer service,” said Dr. Lisa
Alvetro, Sidney, Ohio. “Our local
rep, Vicki Newell, knows the science
better than her competitors, which
helps me and helps my staff.”
Dr. Donna Stenberg, Stillwater,
Minn., praised the service provided
by Kelly Shaughnessy. And Dr.
Charles Rodrique, Sainte Foy,
Quebec, Canada, made this definitive
statement: “I’m with 3M because of
Claude Saillant. He’s been around
as long as I have and he provides me
with marketing ideas.”
At the 3M Wonewok Conference
Center, the orthodontists learned
more about the popular new 3M™
ESPE™ Clarity™ SL Self-Ligating
Braces (one of the most aesthetic,
Dr. Charles Rodrique
hygienic and comfortable brackets
available on the market) and why
leading practitioners are recommending a wider use of the 3M™
ESPE™ Forsus™ Fatigue Resistant
Device EZ Module corrector for
overbite.
Emerging digital platform
At the 3M Innovation Center, the
orthodontists saw demonstrations of
the 3M™ ESPE™ Lava™ Chairside
Oral Scanner, the digital imaging
technology that came to 3M through
its acquisition of Brontes Technologies Inc. The size of an electric
toothbrush, the scanner allows dental
practitioners to quickly and accurately
capture three-dimensional images
of the mouth to be used in creating
restoratives and dental appliances.
“I’m very receptive to using the
new scanner,” said Stenberg. “Impression-making is no fun for the patient.
When you can provide a comfort level
and sense of ease, anxiety just melts
away.”
The orthodontists’ visit came
only days after 3M announced the
acquisition of Dallas, Texas-based
Lingualcare Inc., which will become
part of the 3M Unitek organization.
The Lingualcare product line includes
sophisticated digital tools that will
further broaden the 3M Unitek digital
orthodontic platform.

Honoring exceptional service
3M Chile is helping Latin America’s largest home improvement retailer to grow and succeed. Acknowledging this, the retailer presented 3M Chile
with its 2006-2007 Supplier Excellence for Innovation Award.
It was a proud moment when
Sodimac, Latin America’s largest home
improvement retailer, presented 3M
Chile with its 2006-2007 Supplier Excellence for Innovation Award. More than
1,000 people attended the special event
celebrating Sodimac’s 55th anniversary,
when the company singled out its top
suppliers.
The award recognizes 3M’s commitment to Sodimac and its growth plans,
and 3M’s high standards of service and
dedication to customer satisfaction.
“This is the most significant recognition we’ve received for innovation and
service,” said Fred Schiller, managing
director, 3M Chile. “Sodimac is our
No. 1 key account and this award
confirms that we’re moving in the right
direction.”
3M Chile’s focus on service
What drives such stellar performance?
When working with a key account,
the priorities are easy to remember,
according to Schiller.
“It’s service, service, service,” he said.
“Loss of service means a loss of sales
for both Sodimac and 3M. If end-users
can’t find what they want on the shelves,
a potential sale is lost forever. So, at the
same time that we’re managing an efficient supply chain and bringing innovative products to them, we need almost
perfect service.”
Eduardo Mizon, third from left, general manager for Sodimac in Chile, presents a 2006-2007
Supplier Excellence for Innovation Award to 3M Chile. From left are Guillermo Ochoa, sales and
marketing manager, Consumer and Office Business, 3M Chile; Leonardo Manzanares, specialized
sales representative, 3M Chile; Marisol Ferre, business leader, Construction and Home Improvement Markets, 3M Chile; Mizon; Steve Martyr, international marketing manager, Construction and
Home Improvement Markets Division, St. Paul; and Fred Schiller, managing director, 3M Chile.
To accomplish that goal, 3M Chile
hosts top-to-top meetings with Sodimac
leaders twice a year to share plans and
discuss any barriers to growth.
“These discussions quickly led to
our first Lean Six Sigma customer
project with Sodimac, and it focused on
improving service. Since then, we’ve
recorded some months with perfect
service — 100 percent on-time, in-full
delivery,” Schiller explained.

Day-to-day collaboration
And an annual joint business planning

to double 3M sales through Sodimac by

“This is a best practice for us,” said
Guillermo Ochoa, sales and marketing
manager, Consumer and Office Business,
3M Chile. “It’s a true collaboration. This
plan includes the timing of new product
launches, product advertising campaigns
and other promotions, and key opera-

Achieving the plan is a team effort.
Marisol Ferre, business manager,
Construction and Home Improvement
Markets Division, 3M Chile, represents
the “big 3M.” Leonardo Manzanares,
specialized sales representative, works
with Sodimac on a daily basis. Many
other 3M Chile employees play key
roles, and there is a 3M key account
leader in every Latin American country
that has Sodimac facilities.
“We are so fortunate to have such
a strong and passionate team when
it comes to innovation and customer
service,” Schiller noted. “That leads
to customer success. And when our
customers succeed, we succeed.”
Aggressive plans to invest in Latin
America
Sodimac has aggressive plans to grow
in the region. The home improvement
retailer has 78 stores in Chile, Colombia,
Peru and Argentina, bringing in sales
of $2.1 billion in Latin America. They
intend to invest another $500 million in
Latin America over the next two years.
That spells growth for 3M, too.
“Receiving an award like this positions 3M as top-of-mind for the most
important executives and suppliers in
the home improvement and construction industries,” noted Ochoa. “And that
opens up new opportunities for 3M.”

Brighter clothes, safer workers
Fluorescent yellow-green apparel on road crews shouts out for attention.
State highway departments in Maryland, Missouri and Minnesota, among
others, have found a new way for road
maintenance workers to stand out in a
field of orange caution cones and signs.
Thanks to Scotchlite™ Reflective
Materials from 3M, new high-visibility
apparel is taking conspicuousness to a
higher level and helping make highway
and construction workers easier to see
against all backgrounds.
New rules for the road
New visibility standards are going
into effect in the United States in late
2008, and they will apply to all workers
on federally funded highways who are
exposed either to traffic or to construction equipment in a work area. These
workers will have to wear high-visibility
safety apparel that meets the Performance Class 2 requirements of the
American National Standard for High
Visibility Apparel.
The Maryland State Highway
Administration worked with visibility
experts at 3M to find a way to ensure
that workers would comply with the
new federal and state highway safety
standards requiring high-visibility
apparel. They also wanted the workers
to be as visible as possible from the
time they leave home for work until the
time they return home. After their pilot
study, the Maryland State Highway
Administration adopted a wardrobe
made with 3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Materials.
In meeting with customers, Gary
Pearson, marketing manager, Visibility
and Insulation Solutions, Occupational
Health and Environmental Safety Division, first explains the new visibility
standards going into effect in 2008, and
then discusses the substantial benefits of
a widespread adoption of high-visibility
garments.
“We then bring in various garments
to show what solutions manufacturers
can offer for a whole range of primary
apparel. That way, organizations can
choose a manufacturer whose garments
they like, or they can choose a manufacturer to work with and have garments
customized to their needs,” Pearson
explained.
Comfort, the workers’ personal preferences and the way garments withstand
weather variations are also important
factors in selecting apparel to comply
with the new visibility policy.
For example, in Missouri, some
workers said their high-visibility vests
were getting caught on equipment and
were uncomfortable besides. The solution? T-shirts.
After Missouri’s pilot study was
completed, the state ordered 50,000
fluorescent green T-shirts featuring
3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Material
Now I see you
for the summertime wear of highway
maintenance workers and construction
personnel who work daily in dangerous
situations.
Customers are satisfied
“Since adopting high-visibility
primary apparel, we’ve seen dramatic
improvement in how workers are
dressed and in how much more visible
they are, compared with what they wore
previously, when they were simply
asked to don a vest over noncompliance
garments,” said Samuel Hall, Maryland
State Highway Administration safety
management consultant.
During daylight hours, highway
and construction workers wearing
orange vests can actually blend in
with the cones, barricades and signs,
which are often bright orange, too.
New federal standards, which go
into effect in 2008, link high-visibility
garments to the surrounding work
environment.
A Class 2 garment — for example, a shirt — covers the torso and
features fluorescent material. A Class
2 garment will be required by workers
who need greater visibility in inclement weather and whose activities occur near roadways. Class 2 garments
are recommended for school crossing
guards, railway workers, airport
ground crews and law enforcement
personnel directing traffic.
Class 3 garments have reflective
material on the arms and/or legs as
well as on the torso and provide the
highest level of conspicuity. These
garments are recommended for all
workers in complex environments,
including all roadway construction
crews and vehicle operators, utility
workers, survey crews and emergency responders.

3M backs its clean extinguishing agent
The 3M™ Blue Sky SM Warranty provides peace of mind for end-users of 3M™ Novec™ Fire Protection Fluid 1230.
At a time when environmental
concerns are causing regulators around
the world to implement measures that
reduce greenhouse gas emissions, 3M is
backing its 3M™ Novec™ Fire Protection Fluid 1230 with a unique warranty.
3M is confident in the environmental
footprint of Novec fire protection fluid
1230. Customers receive a 20-year

and positions Novec fire protection fluid
1230 as a next generation fire protection
clean agent.
“Our warranty is not to the OEM or
the manufacturer of the fire suppression system, it is to the end-user who
chooses a system charged with Novec
fluid 1230,” said Joe Ziemba, marketing
manager, Novec Fire Protection Fluid,
Electronics Markets Materials Division.
“That customer can have the peace of

largest ever given by 3M to a single
Austin-area organization, and the 3M
gift is the largest corporate gift received
by the Long Center to date.
“This is big news for our employees,”
said Russell Bridges, community affairs
manager, Corporate Marketing and
Public Affairs, 3M Austin Center. “They
should be very proud.”
“Austin has been very good to 3M
and our employees,” said Joe Harlan,
executive vice president, Electro and
Communications Business, when
presenting the donation. “We may not
be the biggest company here, but we
believe we have one of the biggest
hearts.”
The Long Center will serve as the
permanent home and primary performance venue for the Austin Lyric
Opera, the Austin Symphony Orchestra
and Ballet Austin. It will also play host
to other international, national, regional
and diverse local arts groups.
Slated to open in March 2008,
the center will feature two venues: a
2,400-seat studio theater and a flexible performance space that can seat up
to 240 people. Future plans include a
midsize hall and a recital hall.
Ninety-seven percent of the architectural materials from the old building
were recycled and many of them were
used in the new center’s construction.
For example, Italian marble dividers in
the restrooms have been reconfigured
to serve as countertops in the Long
Center’s restrooms. Green and gold tiles
from the old center’s roof also were
reused and can be seen on the new facility’s façade.

High-tech gadgets can be a motivator
Technology gadgets can improve motivation for exercise, track progress and monitor vital signs.
Heart rate monitors
These monitors typically produce
a readout of the heart rate on a wristband that looks like a watch. Most send
information from a transmitter located
in a band, which is stretched around the
chest.
Depending on the model, these
portable monitors typically show target
heart rate zones and indicate whether
the exerciser’s heart rate is at, above
well as the body fat weight.

Are you an early adopter of new
technology? Maybe you’re the first to
try new computer equipment or the
latest gadgets for your car or home. If
so, you may really take to today’s hightech gadgets for workouts.
Some people are drawn to exercise
gadgets because the technology fascinates them or because they can be fun
to use. But many more are drawn to
the equipment for added motivation
or for medical reasons, according to
Justin Schletz, manager of the Sports
Authority store in Oakdale, Minn. “And
triathletes and others serious about their
workouts use the equipment so that they
can track their progress over time,” he
said.
People with cardiovascular disease
or who are recovering from a heartrelated procedure or a heart attack are
often advised to increase their physical
activity. Yet they can’t overdue it. Enter
a variety of heart rate monitors.
or below the target. Some models also
track calories burned, display the heart
rate as a percentage of the maximum
rate and even make sounds to alert
the exerciser when the target range is
reached or exceeded.
Some heart rate monitors are built
into exercise equipment such as
treadmills. And some treadmills have
programmable features of their own.
For example, you can enter your body
weight and the desired number of
calories you want to burn. The treadmill
then displays the amount of time needed
to achieve that goal, and can automatically adjust the speed and incline for a
varied workout.
Other gadgets that Schletz said are
popular with customers are:

the number of “active steps” taken (to
compare the actual time spent walking
to the “activity time”); displays the
temperature and barometric pressure;
and measures the altitude, which
affects calories burned.

Change will do your body good
Varying your workout routine can move you off a plateau and improve your level of fitness.
Never underestimate your muscles’
“memory.”
Your body gets used to doing repetitive exercises over time. And that can
stall your progress in your fitness
program, according to Bob Mitchell,
owner and manager of Snap Fitness in
Woodbury, Minn. If “stalled” describes
you, then it’s time to shake things up.
“You want to shock your muscles by
changing things up on a regular basis,”
Mitchell said. He advises making
changes every four to six weeks, regardless of whether you train with weights,
run or perform other cardiovascular or
strength-training activities.
Even small changes can make a
difference. Working the “supporting
muscles,” especially during a plateau,
can kick-start a fitness program so you
can once again see results.
How do you know whether your
changes are making a difference? You
can usually feel it.
“If you never get sore after a
workout, your muscles have probably gotten used to the same activity,”
Mitchell said. “But if you feel some
muscle soreness the next day or two,
your changes are making a difference.”
Muscles get stronger, Mitchell said,
when small muscle fibers tear during
a workout and then heal; muscles
strengthen as they heal. Severe pain
obviously is a problem, as is joint pain.
How to vary a workout
Mitchell offered these suggestions
for varying a workout:
• Walkers — Try walking backward
part of the time. “You’ll feel a difference in your thigh muscles even after
walking backward 100 feet,” Mitchell
said. Swing your arms differently or
hold your arms over your head part
of the time. Or change the terrain.
• Runners — Change from a flat
trail to one that includes hills. Try
a new surface: instead of a paved
trail, switch to a grassy path or sand.
“Running on sand is a great way
to work the legs and upper body,”
Mitchell said.
• Weight trainers — Change the
angles at which you hold weights.
“Tilt them a little bit,” Mitchell
said. “Even two inches makes a big
difference.” Try adding repetitions or
increasing weights.
“A personal trainer can personalize
your fitness program and help you to
continue showing fitness improvements,” said Ben Morrison, fitness
professional, Building 220 3M Fitness
Center. He advocates incorporating
“balance training” into a fitness
program. It strengthens the body’s core
muscles, whether you use a stability or
bosu ball, or foam rollers. “Bringing
balance into the equation makes the
body work harder,” he said.
To learn more
Stay motivated
Varying a workout also prevents
boredom, according to Morrison. “A
lot of people fall off the wagon when
they’re just doing the same routine over
and over,” he said. “To repeat, there are
many ways to change things up to keep
things fresh and motivating.”
Changing a workout might also mean
expanding your fitness program. If
you have been strictly a runner, adding
cross-training can boost your fitness,
Morrison said. Some runners add elliptical training or other activities that are
less jarring on the hips and knees.
An ideal fitness program includes
strength training, cardio work and flexibility. “Stretching prevents injuries and
promotes fast recovery and overall wellbeing,” Morrison said.

Consider your health
What’s for lunch?
You probably know that choosing a balanced
diet can help you look and feel better. But did
you know that it can also help prevent illnesses
or manage diseases that can decrease your
quality of life and increase the cost of health care
for all of us?
Today, approximately 59 million American
adults are obese. Health problems associated
with being overweight or obese cost $117 billion
in health care expenses each year, and are major
contributors to the rising cost of health care.
We all have a role to play in keeping health
care affordable. Taking steps to maintain a
healthy weight or lose weight can improve
personal health and decrease your need for
medical treatments or expensive medications.
So if you are overweight, cut back the size
of your meal portions. Reduce consumption of
saturated fats. Talk with your doctor to find a diet
that’s right for you.
When it comes to the cost of health care, your
choices make a difference.

Protect yourself from common injuries
Home injuries
Home is often where we feel the
safest. But think again. Everyday chores
like slicing foods, painting or yard work
carry health risks.
These tips can help you avoid some
of the most common household injuries:
• To prevent falls, pay attention to
proper lighting and furniture placement, and remove or secure loose
rugs or floor mats.
• Install smoke alarms and check the
batteries regularly.
• Store any firearms in a locked
cabinet.
• Set your water heater no higher than
120 F to 130 F to prevent scalding.
Traffic injuries
We all know there are risks to being
on the road. But time on the road may
be more hazardous than you realize.
For example, traffic accidents injure or
disable 20 million to 50 million people
each year.
There are some commonsense things
you can do to significantly cut your risk
of getting hurt in or by a vehicle:
• Always wear your seatbelt when
riding in a car or truck.
• Wear a helmet whenever riding a
bicycle or motorcycle.
• Bicyclists should ride on the road,
and in the same direction as traffic.
Sports injuries
An estimated 7 million Americans
seek medical care annually for injuries
sustained during sports or recreation.
And an estimated 4.3 million of them
are treated in emergency departments.
So always remember to respect your
body’s limits. And try this advice for
your recreational sports activities:
• Warm up before you start any session
of strenuous physical activity. Some
experts recommend lightly stretching
your muscles to warm them up
before a workout. Stretching can
prevent injury during exercise.
• Cool down afterwards. When you’re
done with the activity, take a few
minutes to lower your heart rate and
stretch your muscles.
• If it hurts, stop. Pain is your body’s
warning system. Whether you are
stretching or playing, if whatever
you are doing causes pain, stop right
away.

It can happen in a split second,
anywhere or anytime. Injury, that is. You
might be at home preparing a meal, on
your commute to work or enjoying a
game of softball. With one wrong move,
distraction or unexpected obstacle, it’s
possible to get very seriously hurt.
In a recent year, about 29.6 million
people were treated for injuries in
hospital emergency departments in the
United States — and nearly 2 million
of these injuries were severe enough to
require hospitalization.
For many people, injury causes
temporary pain and inconvenience.
But for some, injury leads to disability,
chronic pain and a profound change in
lifestyle.

nvolve the children in planning family vacations
Trips are more fun when the kids have some say in the planning — both before and during the trip.
As winter
settles in, you
might be turning
your attention to
a family getaway
during the winter
or spring break,
or maybe even to
your summer vacation. Whether you’re
thinking about a short trip up north or a
longer adventure to another country, one
way to turn family travel into a shared
adventure is to involve your children in
the planning process.
Enlist children to help plan
“It takes extra time, patience and
effort to involve the kids, but it is always
worth it,” said Carla Fisher, author of
“WorldTrek: A Family Odyssey..” This
book is based on a yearlong family trip
taken by her ordinary American family.
All told, they circled the globe for 376
days, traveling 50,500 miles and visiting
20 countries.
“Our whole premise for the trip was to
engage our daughters in what we considered a fantastic educational opportunity
through a shared experience,” Fisher
said.
This is her advice: As soon as you
start talking about your trip or summer
vacation, involve the children in the
decision-making process. That doesn’t
mean the kids should determine the
destination outright, but it does mean
that they should be given the opportunity
to help make the plans.
“Discuss the plan, the timing, new
things they will experience and any
concerns they might have,” Fisher
said. “Next, ask what they want to do.
Consider their interests. You don’t have
to include all their ideas, but try to use
at least one idea from each person. With
teens, this might even include an independent activity for them.”
Have a ‘map session’
Fisher advised parents to have a “map
session” with their children and show
them where they will be going. “Let
them know that later they will help find
the right roads, and then let them do it,”
she said.
Let’s say you would like to take
a nine-day road trip to Yellowstone
National Park. A small child, for
example, could be charged with drawing
pictures of animals the family may see at
the park. A grade-school child can look
at an atlas with mom or dad and determine the most efficient driving route.
And a teenager can browse the Internet
to see which hotels along the way have
the coolest pools and best nightly rates.
They can also use the Internet to sign up
for brochures and printed information
about destinations along the way.
You should also give each family
member a research topic. For example,
for the trip to Yellowstone, have your
children research some of the towns and
unusual sights you’ll see along the way.
This may include a stop in the Badlands
of South Dakota, a visit to the famous
Corn Palace or even a dinosaur dig in
Thermopolis, Wyo.
Share your ideas
A few weeks before your trip, sit
down with your family and pore over the
information they’ve gathered. Have your
children do a presentation on the destinations they favor and end the evening with
a fun travel video of Yellowstone.
“Remember to be flexible,” Fisher
said. “Things change as you go along
and the longer the trip, the more change
you can expect. Don’t overplan the trip
by trying to fill every minute with some
planned activity or important destination. It is vital to leave some unstructured
time.
“Choose a couple of features that you
want to see and then spend some free
time just wandering or sitting in a park
or café, or walking along the beach,” she
added. “Everyone occasionally needs
space — teens more often. Plan things to
do together and things to do apart. This
might be an excellent time to send the
kids out with a map to find the ice cream
shop.”
Resources aplenty
Taking part in the preparations for a
vacation engages children and will make
the journey more fun and adventuresome
for them. Many children’s travel books
provide good educational material about
the cities or countries they cover. Find a
book (or books) about the destination of
your trip and some stops you might make
along the way.
Cynthia Nelson with Macy’s Travel
recommends that parents head to the
local library or bookstore to find relevant
children’s titles about the area you
intend to visit. This may include books
on animals in the region, on the culture,
stories taken from the history of the
area, or picture books about any popular
tourist destinations. You will also find
children-oriented maps and atlases.
“If the family will be flying to their
vacation destination, we recommend that
parents bring things on the plane to keep
kids entertained,” Nelson added.
And before you head out on your
trip, make a stop at a craft store and
purchase sketch books for the kids. Have
them capture the favorite moments of
each day through drawings, illustrations
and stories. Maybe they’ll see their first
grizzly bear. Or perhaps they will learn
how to fly-fish in a mountain stream.
These will become treasured memories
for years to come, if captured in their
personal journals.

Stamping fun with the 3M Club
Whether you’re a beginner or looking for new ideas, the 3M Club Rubber Stamping Club may be for you.
Perhaps you’ve received a beautiful
handmade birthday card — a marvel of
creative stamping — and thought,
“I wish I could do that!” Or maybe you
have already explored your stamping
passion and are looking for fresh design
ideas. Whatever your level of experience,
the 3M Club Rubber Stamping Club has
a lot to offer.
According to Barbara Flanaghan, the
club’s secretary, the 3M Club Rubber
Stamping Club was established in 1998
to provide an opportunity for enthusiasts to get together on a regular basis
to exchange ideas and information and
to share their interest and experience in
rubber stamping. Club activities include
card exchanges, demonstrations, workshops and make-and-take projects.
The 100-plus members of the 3M
Club Rubber Stamping Club meet the
third Tuesday of each month during
the lunch hour. Workshops are held on
weekday evenings.
“Our monthly business meetings
always include a demonstration of a
new product or technique. A member
will share her card samples and show
how the technique is done,” Flanaghan
said, “and sometimes will bring in a
new piece of equipment and show how
it works. There’s also a make-and-take
card that each member makes. Workshops involving a variety of projects
— mostly cards — are scheduled
periodically.”
Club members also hold an annual
garage sale to sell their surplus items.
And the club co-sponsors an annual
convention with the 3M Club Scrapbooking Club. “This event is open to the
public, and local stamping and scrapbooking stores are invited to sell their
products and offer a make-and-take
item,” Flanaghan said.
Every two months, the 3M Club
Rubber Stamping Club has a card
exchange, for which the members each
make six identical cards. Members give
away five of their cards and receive five
different cards in return. The sixth card
goes into the club’s library for future
reference.
The club has purchased equipment
and rubber stamps that all club members
can use at home. And members have
an opportunity to purchase paper and
embellishments through the club’s bulk
purchase sales.
“The club members have inspired
me every month,” Flanaghan said.
“This is a group of very creative women
who generously share their ideas with
others. We have members with all
levels of experience — from beginner
to advanced. And even the advanced
members learn something from the other
members.”

Updating the ‘hub’ of the home
Today’s kitchens meld innovative designs and distinctive finishes with state-of-the-art technology.
According to Scott Corridan of
HGTV’s “Design Star” program and
owner of Corridan and Company
Designs, organic is at the top of the list
right now for hard surfaces.
“Bamboo is great for everything
— cabinetry, countertops, flooring
surfaces. Also fun right now are recycled
or repurposed woods,” he noted. “So
many homeowners are looking for that
well-worn, comfortable, ‘family’ kind
of environment in the kitchen and these
repurposed woods make for beautiful
new cabinets, wall treatments, floor treatments and doors.”
shippee - Image from BigStockPhoto.com
When it comes to the kitchen, design
means different things to different
people. Historically, kitchens were often
tucked away, isolated work areas. These
days, the kitchen is the “hub” of the
home, where guests gather and family
members dine in style.
The kitchen is given a pivotal position in the open-plan layouts of today’s
homes. And for that reason, many
homeowners are incorporating furniturestyle cabinetry, which beautifully melds
with the rest of the home’s design.
Multileveled center islands and elevated
eating areas also add architectural flair to
the space.
By enveloping the kitchen in a palette
of diverse materials, including woods,
stainless steel and stone accents such
as granite and Silestone, you enrich the
kitchen with visually balanced textures
and tones.
“Kitchens are seeing the same trend in
materials that other areas of the building
industry are seeing — namely, anything
energy efficient and ‘green’ is in style,”
said Jeff Wilson, narrator and host for
several shows on HGTV and the DIY
Network.
“In materials, you’ll see a movement
toward certified sustainable harvested
woods for flooring and cabinetry, or even
recycled items, like recycled glass tile or
recycled aluminum tile and countertops,”
Wilson said.
Everything in its place
Cabinetry is the hard reality that
every budget bumps up against. “From
the finished goods to the hardware to
the hidden mechanical components, it’s
easy to establish a budget of $5,000 for
cabinetry and end up with a contractor’s
invoice for $20,000,” Corridan said. That
said, many people are turning toward
new uses of inexpensive, industrial materials for cabinetry.
“High-quality polypropylene materials that are opaque or textured are a hot
trend, and very inexpensive,” Corridan
said. “And the styles are veering more
and more toward a contemporary look.
Less finish and less detailed carpentry
mean a more affordable bottom line.”
What’s underfoot
Kitchens, while quickly becoming
the showplaces in homes, still need to
“work.” That’s why choosing appropriate
flooring is very important. Tile is still
one of the most common options because
of its durability, and stained concrete
floors are also gaining popularity.
Have a good look at vinyl flooring
and linoleum: Believe it or not, these
products have undergone some amazing
transformations in the last decade. “In
vinyl, you’ll see stuff you’ll swear is tile,
but is easier on the feet and your dropped
dishes,” Wilson said. “In linoleum, you’ll
find the ‘retro’ look in deep, satisfying
colors. Trust me: This is not your
father’s linoleum.”
Double duty
In an increasing number of households there’s more than one cook, and
often that means doubling up on appliances. It’s all part of the trend toward
creating more comfort and convenience
at home.
Of course, what’s a kitchen without
leading-edge gadgets? Wall-mounted
LCD televisions, computer alcoves, and
even high-tech refrigerators — complete
with Internet access (so you can order
your groceries online) — make today’s
aesthetically pleasing kitchens functional gems as well, and truly an Epicurean’s delight.

A safety kit belongs in every car
Snowstorms, rainstorms, floods. Minnesota’s weather is often unpredictable. That’s why it is imperative to prepare for unforeseen circumstances
that can leave you stranded in your vehicle. Enter car safety kits — vital
tools that can help you be prepared for life-or-death situations.
Simply preparing a car safety kit can mean the difference between a
stressful situation and one that allows you to drive with peace of mind,
knowing that you and your family are covered in case of an emergency.
“Winter weather can kill an unprepared person exposed to the elements
within minutes,” according to the Minnesota Safety Council. “Keep winter
safety kits in your vehicles all winter so they’ll be easy to access if you need
them.”
And remember, if you are driving in bad weather, be sure to call ahead to
your destination and let them know when you are leaving, when you expect
to arrive at your destination and the route you plan to take.
Car safety kit checklist
With winter just around the corner,
what are some key things car owners
should put together in a car safety kit?
The Minnesota Safety Council recommends that it include these items:
it makes sense to have a first-aid kit in your vehicle in case of an emergency. Nexcare™ first-aid
kits are available at the 3M Employee Stores and
the online eStore.

To be prepared in case of an accident, the
Department of Homeland Security (www.ready.gov)
recommends that automobile drivers keep a firstaid kit in their vehicles, along with a collision care
kit containing a disposable camera, pre-formatted
forms for collecting important information from all
parties, a pen and an envelope to keep proof of
insurance and registration.
